Don't confiscate my identity as a human race-Chapter 1082 - 774 Lanci’s Unprovoked Smile_2

Siegler’s overly casual attire made it seem as if she didn’t care at all that he was still sitting there.

"What’s the matter, Calila and Little Black Coal won’t mind anything."

Siegler put down the water bottle, looking revived, and asked Lanci,

"Or is it that His Holiness the Pope would appreciate me with that kind of gaze?"

She deliberately sat down next to Lanci, clinging to him like an innocent little girl, completely indifferent to the difference in their genders.

"Meow..."

Cat Boss couldn’t tell if Siegler was intentionally testing Lanci or seducing him, or if she really hadn’t thought in that direction, still considering herself the young girl from twelve years ago who could be easily picked up by Lanci.

Even though Siegler’s impressive figure made Lanci feel a softness that couldn’t be ignored, he quickly moved away and sat down on another single-seater sofa, giving his seat up to Siegler.

"Siegler, you’ll always be a good kid in my eyes, but you also need to consider some objective factors, like how you’re now a complete beauty and, accordingly, you should maintain etiquette that matches your beauty and talents."

Lanci said to Siegler.

"Um."

Sigrid wanted to retort, but upon hearing Lanci’s emotionally intelligent words, she lost the desire to tease him anymore.

She casually waved her hand, went back to her room to change clothes, and came out again with her hands tucked into the pockets of her coat.

"Speaking of which, last time we came to Little Night City, didn’t we stay in a similar room?"

Sigrid leaned on the armrest of the sofa, gazing at the falling snow in the night sky through the window.

In past dreams, she had been the one sitting at the end of the round table, leaning on the edge and falling into a deep sleep, while Lanci sat silently beside her reading a book.

Upon arriving in this region, the Rabbit Beastmen residents of Little Night City had long become accustomed to the long nights and fleeting days, and their pace of life had fully adapted to the rhythm of night.

Because of the city’s unique geographical location and rich natural resources, it still attracted scholars, hunters, explorers, and travelers seeking a temporary abode.

Aside from the Rabbit People who controlled the city-state, one could often spot members of the Demon Race within the city.

For those of the Human Race, who were neither strong enough nor accompanied by bodyguards, this place far from human kingdoms, was undoubtedly filled with danger.

Fortunately, Lanci had made good connections in Small Stone City from the beginning, and every Lord he visited thereafter had a qualitative leap in their first impression of him.

After he restored the Divine Statue and interacted with Lord Algom, he was without exception favored and assisted.

Therefore, the six-day journey from Small Stone City to Little Night City was smooth sailing, with hardly any accidents or storms.

The only minor incident happened in the latter half of the journey, where the mountainous terrain began to rise, and they—a pair, a cat—encountered a sudden blizzard, forcing them to take brief refuge in a cave, avoiding the threat of an avalanche.

Perhaps it was on that day that Sigler witnessed his restoration work on the Divine Statue, and while organizing their luggage, she began to take a keen interest in his painting tools and carving works. Lanci, with utmost patience, introduced her to the uses of each tool and shared his experience using them, as well as the subtleties of appreciating works of art.

In any case, most of the time on the road, they engaged in conversation, and whether it was learning or teaching, it helped to accelerate the perceived passage of time for both of them.

Looking back now, Sigrid only felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia.

And embarking on the journey again at this moment felt extraordinarily reassuring and pleasant.

This time, there was no rush like the last time, no looming threat of a two-million-strong army to the south, and no Blood Clan emerging in the snowy wilderness—the peace had already been established, and there was no longer a sense of urgency along the way.

Her physical strength at its peak was much better than that of the little girl just over ten years old in her dreams, and Lanci no longer needed to meet and restore Divine Statues in each Beastmen City-State they visited, making the whole itinerary very relaxed.

Just like at this moment, they could stay in a warm hotel in the middle of winter, chatting leisurely, waiting for Calila to prepare the meal.

Everything, it was all a sense of happiness.

"Yes, last time it was the Grand Lord of Little Night City who arranged the room for us; there was nowhere else to stay."

Lanci put down the book, showing a rare smile, and looked at Siegler as he answered.

The independent city-state of Little Night City, close to the Demon World, was very popular among the merchants from the Demon World and served as the starting point for the Demon Race trade routes and the terminus for the Polante Empire trade routes.

He found the journey with Siegler very memorable and moving.

"At that time, I really didn’t expect your affinity for small animals, meow, to be just as effective with the Beastman Clan, they all grew to like and trust you."

Cat Boss climbed onto Lanci’s shoulder, also reminiscing.

"..."

The living room fell silent once again.

When Cat Boss looked at Lanci’s expression again, it found his smile had slowly faded away.

It wondered if it had said the wrong thing, shaking its head as it looked back and forth between Lanci and Siegler.

Sigrid looked at Cat Boss helplessly.

The Cat Boss was a master of throwing in comments, and originally Lanci seemed to have come to terms with the disappearance of the Rabbit People from Little Night City, but after the Cat Boss’s remark, he finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

Sigrid remembered clearly.

Just like Lord Algom of Small Stone City, who was initially not very fond of Lanci, later showed him a side as endearing as a little bear.

It wasn’t any natural attraction, but simply the sincerity and respect they felt from Lanci, and they responded to him with the same.
